Two Pages of Tennis Excellence: A.F. Wilding, the Four-Time Wimbledon Champion Demonstrates His Unparalleled Technique Amidst the lush greens of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, New Zealand-born Anthony Wilding (1873-1915) showcases his unrivaled tennis prowess in this double-page spread from The Sketch magazine. As a four-time Wimbledon champion, Wilding was a household name in society and a beloved figure in the world of sports. In this striking photograph, Wilding, affectionately known as "Tony," demonstrates various tennis strokes, shots, and grips with an effortless grace and precision that left opponents and spectators alike in awe. His fit and athletic physique, a testament to his dedication to fitness and technique, is a sight to behold. Wilding's popularity extended beyond the tennis court, as he was a gracious and humble sportsman who captivated the hearts of the public. In 1914, he faced a formidable opponent in the Wimbledon final, Norman Brookes, but ultimately lost in a thrilling five-set match. Tragically, Wilding's tennis career was cut short when he was killed in action near Neuve Chapelle at the Battle of Aubers Ridge in May 1915. His untimely death at the age of 41 left a profound impact on the tennis community and beyond. This evocative image not only captures the essence of a champion athlete but also serves as a poignant reminder of the intersection of sport and history. Wilding's legacy continues to inspire tennis players and enthusiasts alike, as his unwavering commitment to the game and his remarkable skill left an indelible mark on the sport's history.
